Until that time I'll do relaxing breathing exercises a couple of times a day.

Do a google search on Mitral Valve Prolapse. Although it's fairly common, only a certain percentage of people who have it actually have symptoms, and those symptoms are very similar to what you are having. I have it, and was VERY symptomatic in my 20's. Although it's a pretty benign condition, I was put on beta blockers just to control my symptoms, and I took them for many years. Now that I'm older and calmer, I've been able to come off of them and other than a fast heart rate and occasional "flutters" I feel fine. I can't help but wonder if that is what is going on with you. It all sounds so familiar...
